TALK ABOUT SERENDIPITOUS:

Daryl Hall first met John Oates at the Adelphi Ballroom in Philadelphia in 1967 while attending Temple University. Each was heading his own musical group at the time—Hall with the Temptones, and Oates with the Masters. They were there for a band competition when gunfire rang out between two rival gangs, and in trying to escape,

they ran to the same service elevator.

Because of their similar musical

tastes, they quickly became

acquainted. It would take them another two years to form a musical duo, and three years after that they had signed to Atlantic Records and released their debut.

So wait…. imagine:

*gunshot bang bang bang bang bang*

Hall: Hey man who fired those shots?

Oates: I dunno, bro. Hey, you want to form a band?

Hall: Sure!

….

Rule 1: Men should NEVER, EVER WEAR SHOULDERPADS.

Rule 2: AND LEOTARDS

Plus Oates looks like a Lionel Richie rip-off:

The resemblance… is UNCANNY.
